. BGTTLE-STDPPER.

I provide a device of this character wherein a pull is'secured'adjacent the edges of the disks and extending transversely thereof,

said pull being perforated, the purpose of such perforation is to'enable one to detect any tampering with the contents of the A further object of the device of the char acter described, is to provide a perforated pull so when the pull is broken the stopper can be removed by grasping either end of the pull.

A still further object of the invention is to provide a stopper for a bottle which is simple in construction, efficient in practice and one that can be manufactured and sold at a comparatively low cost.

With the above and other objects in view the invention consists in the various novel features of construction and arrangement of parts which will be more fully described hereinafter and set forth with particularity in the claims appended thereto.

In the accompanyingdrawing which illustrates one of the embodiments of the inven tion. Figure l is a perspective view :ilius tratin'g the application of my improved hottle stopper, Fig. 52 is a sectional view taken on a plane extending vertically and centrally through a bottle equipped with my invention, Fig. 3 is a plan of'my stopper, and Fig. 4 is a sectional view taken on line 83 of Fig. 3 of the drawings.

Referring more particularly to the drawing, 1 designates a circular bottlestopper adapted to be applied to a bottle, as clearly shown in Fig. 1, of the drawing. The stopper is provided with a pull 2, said pull being preferably a ribbon which extends transversely the central portion of the stopper and secured thereto adjacent the edges of the stopper, by means of rivets 3.

- The pull 2 is provided with a series of perforations 4t extending transversely of the pull and disposed at a point intermediate the ends, for the purpose of enabling a person to readily discover whether or not the contents of the bottle have been used. ;A use of the pull would result from the 00m: fort and convenience experienced in renioving the cork or stopper when the pull is broken, by grasping either of the ends 5 of the ribbonyas clearly demonstrated in Fig. 2 of the drawing.

From the foregoing, taken in connection with the accompanying drawing, the construction and mode of operation of the invention should be understood without a further extended description.

Changes in the form proportions and minor details of construction may be made within the scope of the claims without de parting from the spirit or sacrificing any of the advantages of the invention.

Having thus described the invention what is claimed as new, isi:-

The combination with a disk, of a pull secured to the top face of the disk, said pull comprising a flexible member/formed with a series of transversely alined perforations, and means for securing the ends of the member to the disk. v

in testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
